Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The defendants’ denial, not being verified as provided by section 108, was of no avail to. them, for it admitted the execution of the tax-sale certificates, the indorsements thereon, the assignment of the same, and-the execution of the tax deeds. This was an admission not only of their execution, assignment, and indorsement, but the legal effect of said instruments, and what they would fairly prove and establish. . . . The execution and authority being admitted, the legal effect would be a regular assessment and levy and a regular sale, and the issuing of tax-sale certificates based thereon ; their assignment and indorsement of taxes paid, and the assignment of said certificates, and a deed duly issued thereon, in due form, is a legal admission of a perfect tax record.””
